Getafe 2 Touch Game

Instructions/Setup:

This ball mastery game serves as a technical warm-up, focusing on touch control and passing accuracy. Players are allowed a maximum of two touches and must ensure the ball remains below knee height. Each team of two players is positioned inside their own square grid, with the grids set 10 meters apart. The objective is to deliver a powerful pass to the opposing team and challenge their first touch. A point is awarded for every time the opposition takes a touch that causes the ball to fall outside of their grid.

This drill emphasizes passing power, precision, and the ability to control the ball under pressure. Players must focus on keeping the ball within the designated area while managing to pass it accurately and effectively.

Coaching Notes:

• Control Under Pressure: Encourage players to focus on their first touch, ensuring they can control the ball even when it is passed with power. Players should aim to keep the ball close to their body to maintain possession within the grid.

• Pass Precision: Passes should be firm but not too heavy, allowing the receiving player to control the ball effectively. The goal is to challenge the opponent’s first touch while maintaining control of the ball.

• Body Positioning: Players should use their body to position themselves well for the pass, ensuring they are able to receive and pass accurately within the given space.

• Quick Decision Making: Players must react quickly to each pass and anticipate the trajectory of the ball to adjust their first touch accordingly. The focus should be on minimizing mistakes while maintaining speed and accuracy.
